Product introduction
LN Beta Tablet is a combination medicine that brings together a beta blocker and a calcium channel blocker to manage high blood pressure. By slowing the heart rate slightly and relaxing blood vessels at the same time, it approaches blood pressure control from two directions. Doctors typically prescribe it when a single antihypertensive medicine has not brought blood pressure fully under control. It is meant to be taken regularly as part of a long-term treatment plan.
Storage: Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
